Soulwax - Part of the Weekend Never Dies

Ten years after its original release on DVD, back in 2008, you can now enjoy our documentary for the first time in HD.
Recorded during 120 shows using one camera across Europe, Japan, the US, Latin America and Australia, acclaimed director Saam Farahmand and Soulwax co-directed Part Of The Weekend Never Dies - a documentary that captures the excess, cynicism, delusion, ridiculousness, contradiction, exhaustion and humour of the life of DJs and bands on the road. The documentary includes live footage of 2MANYDJS and Soulwax Nite Versions, and also includes James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Erol Alkan, Tiga, Justice, Busy P, So-Me, Peaches, Kitsune and Klaxons amongst others in behind the scenes footage and interviews.

What a golden age that was. I mean, Tiga, James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Klaxons, Justice all in the same rockumentary, that's insane.

[@Roary06]

You missed Erol :)

[@mikeg8561]

Oh yeah, a simpler, exciting time

You fucking legend

[@seanwieland9763]

Look at you.

[@andreasensounico7073]

Grandissimo !!!!!

[@misterzlu]

I bought the DVD back then 😍 Just found out today it was available in HD on KZbin and couldn't resist watch it again for what must be the tenth time... Buying "Much against everyone's advice" in a (now closed) music store in Kortrijk in 1998 when I was 16 (22 years ago 😱) was probably the best musical purchase of my life... My tastes in music evolved as Soulwax evolved and grew from rock to electro-rock to electro to... everything actually. I owe these guys so much unforgetable memories and moments shared with friends (parties in my student bedroom listening to StuBru and Radio Soulwax, live concerts and dj sets in Rock Werchter, Soulwaxmas in Gent, Hasselt and London, Pukkelpop, Ronquieres last summer,...), I will never be able to thank them enough. You guys really rocked my life 🙏

[@invx]

I would binge watch this, and the Justice 'A Cross the Universe' documentary everyday in 2008/9. Electro lifestyle

[@jasonm.8174]

I would fall asleep to this after coming home from the club and in retrospect Im amazed I was able to.

[@rulg001]

I saw them live at dour this summer. Guys you are always 5 years in the future. It's incredible how much you gave to the electronic music these 10 last years. Thank you for that.

[@Gqgeorge1453]

that dour set was amazing! so damn funky

[@peek594]

I want the same again just after covid confinement.... I miss you....

[@marioink7980]

One of the best live experiences of a lifetime...

[@marioink7980]

You can tell that after a few weeks of the tour they were exhausted of playing the same set and then a dj set afterwards... i guess their passion became a job at the end... i hope you guys learned the lesson and eventually come back tour with more freedom and not too serious...

[@mishajonson]

wish they do Part of the Weekend Never Dies pt.2

[@ark228rock]

Yeah/// Nite Versions Live At Fabric (And 120 Other Places)

[@Thegjs]

I still watch this days by days!

[@chrislox1]

Just went through Spotify and binged on some of the best remixes ever. Thank you Soulwax.

[@davidyoung5640]

Simpler time.

[@seanwieland9763]

The fallout of the 2008 market crash, and rise of New Sincerity / SJWs in the 2010s made it a lot harder to have fun like this.

[@luc-perrin]

@@seanwieland9763 I dont think SJWs are ruining fun for you, it sounds like you became more miserable yourself

[@SambaSunnySideUp]

Thanks for the upload. amazing document of enduring music from the 2000s

[@dorukguralp5150]

First day of 2022 and i'm watching this again for the 9th time. Timeless classic.

[@renzoc]

YES!!!!! Thanks for the upload! I love you guys.

[@taarguss]

This is still so FUCKING incredible. Thank you guys

[@philippe4547]

Bedankt om dit te uploaden gaste!! Heerlijke docu en krijg elke keer zin om muziek te maken.

[@raulvelezjr1053]

Good upload. Thanks to all involved.

[@JoseLobo75]

Thank you so much for this...one of my favorite films that gives me hope that someday music will reach another golden age someday

[@ark228rock]

nu-nu-rave? It is unlikely that this phenomenon will happen again. Then many talented producers gathered at one right time + their music coincided with the mood of a generation and then it was easier to get good druqs.

[@SummerTriangle]

1St Time that 'Part of the weekend Never Dies' was showed to the world was in Portugal, in São Jorge Cinema (Built in 1946!), saw the Doc seated right next to the Dewaele Brothers! At the end, we went to Lux Club to saw Soulwax Live! Another lifetime experience...

[@poegrapher]

finally!!!! official upload from official account! thank you

[@troyspartan992]

God, I was only 20 when I bought this... The day I learned that yes, ELO are fucking great!

[@alexandrasaavedra2886]

Omg I was so young when I watched it. I love it!

[@carlitooz357]

So many memories of wild nights.

[@BAlvn-yr6ej]

but what about what you don't remember.... ;-)

[@Mumbles.]

this is one of my favourite films of all time

[@rhysrunsriot]

Loved this. Of course, Saam made it.

[@mikegcopyful]

LOVE this doc, love these guys. The bit at 56 minutes says the most to me now. You can't E all the time, unfortunately. Life and biology catches up. This doc is primarily brilliant music, and the capture of a scene I loved perfectly, but the best thing about it is how it shows what it's like when the party is no longer a party for you. That 56 minute bit is perfect. And the earlier one when one of the bros is just looking at the camera, jaded, going WTF when a bunch of people are dancing and chewing their faces off behind him. The cool thing about these guys is despite that they went on to make another great album and more great remixes and will hopefully be a James Murphy+ and make more good music well into middle age. They just so good.

[@ark228rock]

Oh.... thank you, guys!!!!

[@mimii3000]

I have this on DVD and I love watching it with the TIGA commentary on, lol. Also if you can, listen to Tiga's podcast "THE LAST PARTY ON EARTH" with Soulwax. So fun listening to old friends reminisce and shoot the shit with one another. This is one of my favorite docs of all time. I highly recommend getting the DVD if you love Soulwax.

[@mimii3000]

So happy I got to see the perform 3 times in 2016. Saw them at "A CLUB CALLED RHONDA" in Los Angeles, and then twice at Coachella. They had their own tent called Despacio which they did an amazing tribute to Prince (Prince died a day before Coachella started) and also played in the Sahara as 2ManyDJS!
